Stories of Natural Phenomena for P'irst and 
Second Grade

INTRODUCTORY. 

Dear Sister Teacher: — I send to 5'^ou some stories that have given a 
few pleasant hours to my pupils and myself 

These are a iavorite series because, my valued critics, the children, have 
decided in their favor. They have tried to explain, in a childish way, how, 
watching sun and sky and clouds touched something in their higher nature. 

If j'ou find them helpful, I ask in return that you be kind to their faults. 

lyUCY M. Robinson 


SUGGESTIONS. 

Have little talks that give a trend to thought and set the little eyes- 
watching, days before, and come to the story as a natural climax. These 
conversations will also help the children to read with more expression, and 
to readily grasp the new words. 

Do not attempt to read the stories continuously: but let the atmospheric 
changes, which to a considerable extent control the thoughts of the children, 
be 3’our guide in making selections. 

Do not even trouble to finish one story before beginning another, bviL 
change from clouds to sunshine, whenever it suits. This will give helpful 
reviews, and the helpful thought that there is still something more to learn 
in every subject, Uet .some .story grow that is in harmony with the da 3'. The 
children enjoj' songs and poems in harmony with the stor^’^ and the day, and 
will, themselves, carr\" on the subject in their illustrated number and other 
original work.

The sun is high in the sk}" 
now. 

Can you look at the sun? 
No, it is so bright. 
Beautiful, bright sun! 
Beautiful, blue sky!

'We loAT-e the kind sunbeams. 
The sunbeams have a long, 
long way to come. 
They come very fast. 

Can yon hear them come? 
Do they stop to play? 


— 10 — 



N'o, they come straight from 
the smi to us. 

Sometimes the clouds try to 
hide the sunbeams. 
They always send some 
light on to us.

Children sleep at night. 
The sunbeams never sleep. 
They go to Avake np other

AFe can not see air-fairies. 


— 12 — 


W e can feel tliem fly in at 
the window. 

W e can feel tlieni fly from 
tlie liot stove. 

AVe can feel them when 
they fly fast. 

Then we say, ‘‘How the 
wind blows.” 

The air-fairies whisper, 
“Burn, fire burn! 

W e will carry heat to the 
children.” 

Could we have any fire 
without air-fairies? 

The air fairies say, “Grow, 
trees, groAv!” 


- 13 - 


Tliey say, “Children, grow; 
breathe and grow.” 

Could we live without the 
air-fairies ? 

Air-fairies say, “Little birds, 
we will help you tly.” 

They bring us the birds' 
songs. 

They carry all the words 
we say. 

We will say beautiful 
words for the air- 
fairies to carry.

Tlie Clouds. 

Look at the clouds ! 

The clouds are in the skj. 

The clouds are white. 

The clouds look soft and

Busy Air-Fairies. 

Willie’s mother stood on the 
doorsteps. 

Little Willie stood by her. 

She called, 

“D — ri — n — 11 — e — r, 
d — i — n — n — e — -i\” 

The air-fairies caught the 
words. 

On they passed them to 
other air-fairies. 

They made great waives of 
sound. 

On and on to the woods they 
carried them. 


19 


•* 








— 20 — 

Willie’s father was swinging: 
a heavy ax into a tree. 

Into his ears the air-fairies 
carried the words. 

He was hungry. The words 
made him glad. 

He laid down his ax. 

He held his hands each side 
of his mouth. 

H e called, 

“ Wh o o p.” 

It meant, ”I hear you. I’ll 
come to dinner.” 

Away across the fields the 
air-fairies carried and 
passed the word. 


— 21 — 


It took many, many fairies 
to carry the word across 
the long field. 

Everj^ faiiy helped a little. 

They carried it into Willie’s 
ears. 

They carried it into his 
mother’s ears. 

Into the house they went. 

They made everything 
ready for dinner. 

Soon Willie’s father came. 

He said, “I was glad to hear 
you call when I was far 
away in the woods.” 


Giant Gravitation. 

Giant Gravitation has a 
home like a sphere. 

Does his home spin round 
and round? 

His home is the earth. 

He has many, many long 
arms. 

"W^e can not see his arms. 

They are very strong. 

They never get tired. 

The children play with 
Giant Gravitation. 

They toss up halls. 

He pulls them down again.

Thej say, ‘sSee 
how heavy 
we are.” 

They groAv and 
grow. 



He pulls hard and harder. 
They say, “See hoAv much 
Ave AA^eigh noAv!” 

Giant GraAutation is a good 
friend of the children. 








He lielps tlieni swing. 

He lielps them jump. 

He does not let them fall 
off his earth. 

He says, “Ap- 
ples, do not go 
to the sky.” 

He says, “Come 
to earth for the 
children.” " 

He is a good friend of the 
fairies, too. 

He' says, “Little fairies, do 
not go too far away.” 

He never lets any of his 
little fairies get lost. 



^26— 


lliG AYater-Fairies. 


The Avater-fairies are Iriends 
of the air-fairies. 

Their home is in the Avater. 

They rest in the lake. 

They rnn in the river. 

Giant Gravitation helps 
them to rnn fast. 

1 ie AAmits them in his 
ocean. 

He rocks them tliere. 

The snnheams make the 
Avater-fairies Avmrm. 

Y^lien they get very AA^arm 
they AA^ant to fly. 


The air-fairies say, “Come 
fly with us. 

Away they fly, with their 
friends, the air-fairies. 

They touch the grass and 
the trees. 

They feel light and happy. 

Away they fly to the sky. 

They feel a cool wind. 

They make fleecy clouds. 

They float and float in the 
heautiful clouds. 

Cold air-fairies fly into the 
clouds and say, “The 
thirsty trees and flowers 
want you.” 


-28— 


1’lie w ater-fairies fold their 
wings. 

They cuddle into little 
round spheres. 

Giant Gravitation calls, 
“Come to earth again.” 

Down, down come the 
little spheres. 

They make the trees and 
grass happy. 

The children watch the 
beautiful rain. 



— 29 — 


Tlie Raiii-Droj)s’ Trip. 

A.11 tire way from the sky 
tire rain- drops won- 
dered Avliere they 
AA'onld go next. 

Some of them dropped in- 
to the ground by the 
roots of trees. 

They climbed up inside 
the bark and away 
out the long branches. 

They said, ‘‘Little green 
leaves Ave have come 
all this AA^ay to see 
you.” 


—30— 


Some of the rain-drops ran 
away into the earth. 

They picked np hits of lime. 

They crept to the river. 

They carried the lime to 
shell fish in the river. 

Some of the drox3S picked 
np salt to carry to tlie 
ocean. 

Some of them crept into 
stones. 

They hunted for things 
they liked in the 
stones. 

Many together carried 

pebbles down the hill. 


— 31 — 


carried tiny bits of 
earth, too. 

They made a little creek. 



The creek ran its way to 
the liver. 

The river ran on to the ocean . 

All the rain-drox)S were very 
busy making the earth 
beantiful. 


—32— 


The Water- Fairies and 
Jack Frost. 

Last night the air was full 
of water-fairies. 

J ack Frost came to play 
with them. 

He said, “Put on your new 
white dresses. 

Please help me to cover the 
trees with frost-leaves 
and frost-flowers.” 

Oh, what fnn they had! 

How happy they were as 
they made the trees 
heantifnl. 


— 33 — 


“Oh!” said the fairies, “we 
. will put a velvet cover 
on the walks.” 

“Yes, and a velvet cover on 
the fences,” said the 
fairies. 

“The stones want a velvet 
cover, too,” said Jack 
Frost. 

“Oil!” said the fairies, “we 
will make frost-velvet 
and frost-flowers over 
everything. 

We will make everything 
beautiful while all the 
children sleep.” 


—34 - 


One iiiglit Ice King sent 
Jack Frost to say, 
‘‘Winter is coming.” 

The water-fairies grew 
sleepy as they heard 
him. 

They counted one, two, 

three, four, hve, six, and 
gave a push. 

They were fast asleep. 

Some of them pushed so 
hard they broke the 
dishes where they slept. 

Some of them slept in 
rocks. They pushed 
the rocks veiy hard. 


- 35 - 



Soine of tlie water-fairies 


slept in lakes. 

Some slept in rivers. 

They made great ice fields. 
The happy children loved 
to skate on the ice. 


Tlie Ground -Cloud. 

We cannot see tlie sun- 
beams tills morning. 

The air is thick and ivhite. 

We can hardly see across 
the street. 

The air looks like va^jor 
h’om the tea-kettle. 

It looks like soft, fleecy 
clouds. 

Why does it look so queer? 

The air is full of water- 
fairies. 

Jack Frost has made their 
wings Avhite. 


- 37 - 


I’liere are so many, tliey 
hide the sunbeams. 
Sometimes the clouds hide 
the sunbeams. 

Is this a cloud? 

Are we in a cloud? 
Sometimes people go to the 
clouds. 

They go in a balloon. 

They go away u]3 to the 
sky-clouds. 

"We are not in a sky-cloud. 
We are in a ground-cloud. 
We call a ground-cloud, fog. 
We can look into the cloud. 
We can not see through it. 


- 38 - 

God can see through the 
clouds. 

ISTow the cloud has gone 
away. 

We could not hear it go. 

It has gone to the sky. 

XoAV it is a sky-cloud. 

White frost-flowers are on 
the trees now. 

Jack Frost and the water- 
fairies made them while 
the elonds were here. 

Soon the sunbeams will 
come and ]3ick the 
frost-flowers. 

Beautiful frost-flowers. 


— 39 — 


Tlie Sunset. 

A\"illie and Alice were 
watching the clouds. 

“See, Willie! what great 

mountains they make.” 

“Don’t you wish we could 
climb the mountains?” 
said little Willie. 

“I think you would need 
pretty big snow-shoes,” 
said Alice. 

“Oh, look Alice! they are 
turning red and yellow.” 

“Oh, Willie, how beautiful 
they are!” 


—40— 


“Yes,” said little Alice, 
“and I think I see 
castles tliei’e.” 

Their mother said, “The}" are 
water-fairies’ castles.” 

“They must be very happy 
in such beantifnl 
castles,” said Alice. 

“See how the colors change,” 
said "Willie. 

“The snn is making them 
beantifnl for ns,” said 
their mother. 

“See how the ca.stles and 
mountains change.” 

“It is a beautiful sunset,” 


— 41 — 


Nortli Wind. 

Cold isTortliWiiid said, “I 
, feel like arace to-niglit.” 

"‘Run away, Sontli Wind, 
mil fast,” lie said. 

"‘I am too strong for 3^011 
East Wind.” 

“Follow tire sunset. West 
Wind,” lie cried. 

“This is niy night and the 
race is mine.” 

Over the mountains and 
over the lakes he went. 

lie rolled up the waves. He 
gave them Avhite caps. 


—42— 


“Are you strong? O, trees!” 
he cried. 

lie swung the branches. He 
tossed the leaves. 

He shook off the fruit. 

He shook otf the nuts. 

Close to the earth, the grass 
leaves he pressed. 

He caught and carried the 
feathery seeds. 

He scattered them far and 
Avide. 

“Have you a Arinter home?” 
he said to the birds. 

“Hoav thick is your avooI?” 
he said to the sheep. 


— 43 — 



“iiow thick hs your fury” 


he said to the squirrel, 
hie tried the barns. 

Tie tried the ]iouses. 


— 44 — 


strong are yon bnilt?” 
lie said. 

He slammed the doors and 
shook the windows. 

“Better drive more nails in 
here,” he said. 

He howled in the chimne}^. 

“Get ready, Old Winter is 
coming,” he called. 

“Is your coal-bin full? 

Is there wood in the A\nod- 
shed piled?' 

To-night is my night and I , 
come to Avarn 5^011 all. 

Get ready. Old Winter is 
sure to come.” 


- 45 — 


- Cloud-Land Fairies. 

Part I. 

“Sunshine, we miss you so. 

Oh beautiful Sunshine, do 
please come to see your 
children again. 

We love you, sunshine. 

Where have you gone?” 

“I am here dear children. 

I am watching the little 
cloud-land fairies. 

They are very busy and 
very happy fairies.” 

“What are the cloud-land 
fairies doing? 


Tell us, dear Sunshine.” 

“They are making star- 
houses. 

Dear little fairies. They 
were so happy playing 
with my sunbeams. 

Jack Frost saw them 
playing. 

He told the North Wind to 
run find them. 

When North Wind touched 
the fairies, quickly they 
kissed the sunbeams 
good-bye. 

Quickly they counted one, 
two, three, four, five, six. 


Then they clasped their 
hands together, and 
made the star-houses. 

Little cloud-land fairies love 
to help each other. 

They are all the time 
helping each other.” 

“Where are the star-houses, 
Sunshine?” 

“The cloud that hides me is 
a city of star-houses, 
where the fairies love 
and hel23 each other.” 

“I wish I could see a star- 
house.” 

“You will see one soon. 


- 48 - 

Wlieii tlie star-liouse is all 
finislied, it gets very 
heavy — too heavy for 
cloud-land. 

Down, down it goes such a 
long, long way. 

Poor frightened fairies, they 
do not know where they 
are going. 

God cares for little cloud- 
land fairies; not one 
gets hurt.” 


“Down out of cloud-land, 
Down from the star-land, 
Down into our land. 

Comes the white snow.” 


-- 49 --- 


Cloud-] and Fairies. 

Part II. 

'‘Dear little snow-stars, 

liow beautiful yon are. 

Wlrat a long way you 
have come. 

Who cared for you on such 
a long journey? 

I am glad there are so man} 
fairies foi* compan}^ in 
one snow-star. 

We love you, beautiful 
white snow-stai’s. 

We love to Avatch you 


come. 


—50— 


How softly you come. 

We love to play with you. 
We make you into balls. 



How many snow-stars

One winter they built it. 

They cut great blocks of ice. 

They built the palace with 
the blocks of ice. 

It took many days to build it. 

They made it with turrets 
and towers. 

It was very beautiful. 

How it glistened in the sun! 

The colors were beautiful.

to look at it. 

It was a beautiful sight. 

Some nights they had hre- 
works around it. 

The sun shone for many 
days on the bright 
ice-palace. 

The north wind kept it 
strong. 

At last the south wind came 
to help the sunshine. 

It took many days to melt 
the great ice-palace. 

People like to think now 
how beautiful it was. 


— 76 — 


Ice-Rivers. 

Away in the far north tliere 
are ice-rivers. 

They flow very slowly. 

They flow between the snow- 
covered mountains. 

Very deep are the ice-rivers. 

They push very hard against 
the rocks. 

The ice pushes very slowly 
onward to the sea. 

It carries rocks and gravel 
to the sea. 

It pushes great icebergs 
into the sea. 


Icebergs. 



Great icebergs go boating 
out to sea. 

They boat like great ships. 
They are larger than any 
of the ships. 


How beautifiil tliey are. 

They make the water very 
cold. 

Thej^ make the air very cold. 

They make a thick fog far 
around them. 

Shij)s must not go too near 
the icebergs. 

They would sink the ships. 

They can not see the icebergs 
through the fog. 

They can not see other shijis 
through the fog. 

The ships try to keep far 
from the fog aiid the 
icebergs. 


Tlie Ice King. 

The Ice King lives in a 
beantifnl palace. 

It is on the 
to]3 of a high 
mountain. 

It is made of 
shining ice. 

The sunbeams 
cover it with 
pearly colors. 

Many water-fairies sleep 
in the palace. 

Jack Krost visits the Ice 
King in summer. 



Ilis feet go c;lick, click, 
click, as lie walks 
about tlie palace. 

He makes beautiful white 
ferns all about the 
palace. 

Bye and Ip^e the Ice King 
says, ‘Bummer is 
gone.” 

Jack Frost says, “I must 
go down the mountain 
now.” 

The Ice King says, “Bye 
and bye I will follow 
you down the moun- 
tain.” 


Jack Frost goes down tlie 
mountain picking all 
tke green leaves, ferns 
and flowers. 

lie calls to the water-fair- 
ies to help him make 
frost-ferns and flowers 
to take their places. 

Then the Ice King comes 
out of his palace. 

He walks in the crisp snow. 

He walks on the ice-rivers 
• that come down the 
mountain. 

He loves the cold, white 
earth. 


— 76 — 

He never goes where he 
can see the green 
grass. 

He loves the cold north 
wind. 

“My good North Wind,” 
he says, “drive the 
snmmer winds away.” 

Then he conies on down 
the . mountain. 

He crosses the rivers 

where the fishes sleep 
under the ice. 

He crosses the meadows 
where the grass-roots 
sleep. 


Bye and bye, the Ice 

King thinks he would 
like to go back to his 
palace. 

The summer winds are 
ready to come back 
again. 

The Ice King says, “Here 
are beautiful frost- 
flowers for you to 
pick. 

Here are sleeping water- 
fairies ready to wake 
and welcome you. 

Here are ice-rivers ready 
to run at your touch. 


We have kept your sum- 
mer treasures under 
soft snow-blankets and 
ice-covers.” 

Then the summer Acinds 
said, “Thank you great 
Ice King. You haA^e 
given our treasures a 
beautiful rest.”

on the snow.” 

“See the snow is covered 
with ice, too, see how it 
sparkles,” said Alice. 

“Do yon see that branch so 
heavy with ice? 

See, it bends down to the 
snow!” said her father. 


“It is frozen to the snow.” 

“I am glad it did not break,” 
said Alice. 

“Don’t yon think the buds 
need stout coats now?” 

“Yes,” said her father, “they 
need their stout coats 
all the cold winter. 

Soon the sun will melt the 
ice hut the buds Auill 
not be hurt.” 

“Look!” said Alice, “mother
